Isaiah 42:24

Who gave Jacob to the spoiler, and Israel to the robbers? Was it not the Lord against whom we have sinned, in whose ways they would not walk, and whose laws they would not obey?

Our Parish is trying to reduce its energy profile, both collectively and individuallly. The innocence of any newborn, not just Paul, reminds us, politics aside, there is no such thing as a victimless crime. Whatever we do on our walk to Jerusalem is either for or against God. It is God for whom we act or against whom we have sinned, and our actions will have future consequences for such innocents as Paul, as, with or without God, our actions have consequences.
